U.S. economy "not out of the woods," says former Fed vice chairAaron Task at Daily Ticker13 hrs ago
When U.S. first-quarter GDP numbers are reported next week, economists aren't expecting much, with estimates ranging from 1% to 1.5%. Update: A sharp drop in March new homes sales Wednesday morning prompted greater concern about first-quarter growth; in reaction, Goldman Sachs downgraded its Q1 GDP forecast to 1.4% from 1.9%.
But the consensus is for a big rebound in the rest of the year, with estimates of 3% for the second quarter and 2.7% for the full year, according to a Bloomberg survey. That's consistent with the "central tendency" of Federal Reserve board members, who are expecting a 2.8% to 3% growth rate for all of 2014.
But one former Fed official isn't so sure.
"I certainly think there's going to be a rebound from the first quarter [but] to make a 3% year...we've got to do a lot better than 3% in the remaining three quarters and I"m just not quite that optimistic," says Princeton professor and former Fed Vice Chair Alan Blinder. "I just don't see where the growth is going to come from."
"The bargain has changed" on Wall Street and young people don't like it: Kevin RooseAaron Task at Daily Ticker17 hrs ago
The past year has seen a sea change on Wall Street: Investment bankers are being told to work less.
Goldman Sachs (GS) was first out of the gate, telling its junior bankers to take Saturdays off and restricting analysts from going to the office or logging in to company systems from 9 p.m. Fridays to 9 a.m. Sunday.
J.P. Morgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) quickly followed suit, respectively giving junior bankers one "protected weekend" a month and telling junior employees to take off four weekend days per month.
The tragic death of a 21-year old Bank of America intern last summer brought harsh media scrutiny on Wall Street and helped put pressure on the big firms to ease up on a industry so hard-driving and "Type A." Young investment bankers are famous for working extremely long hours, including weekends and holidays; for many junior people in the industry, their first (often only) day off is their wedding day.
Facebook: What's not to like?Aaron Pressman at Daily Ticker18 hrs ago
Facebook (FB) reported earnings on Wednesday that blew away Wall Street expectations. In an increasingly mobile world, Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room creation is looking more and more like one of the best advertising platforms around.
Related:No more Facebook? Mark Zuckerberg has a vision says Ben Horowitz
Overall revenue increased 72% to $2.5 billion in the first quarter, above the $2.36 billion analysts had expected. Ad revenue was up 82% from last year, the fastest growth rate for Facebook in three years, and more than half -- $1.3 billion -- came from mobile users. The company reported it hit 609 million daily active users on mobile in the first quarter, up 43% from a year ago.
Tech bubble at Apple? HardlyAaron Pressman at Daily Ticker19 hrs ago
If you're looking for signs of a tech bubble, Apple's (AAPL) latest moves won't help your case. The tech giant announced on Wednesday that it would split its stock 7 for 1 and increase its already massive stock buyback and dividend plans. There were a lot of splits by big companies during the Internet bubble. Cisco Systems famously split its stock every year from 1996 through February 2000 – just before the bubble popped.
But Apple is hardly making the move due to a rocketing stock price. The shares are down 6% so far this year, though it looks like they will erase the loss and get back to even when trading starts today. Apple remains 26% below its all-time high of $705.07 hit in September 2012. And the shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 13, below the market average and nowhere near the crazy levels seen in the Internet bubble.
'The right book at the right time': Why a 700-page economics tome is #1 on AmazonBernice Napach at Daily Ticker20 hrs ago
Every once in a while a book, movie or piece of theater captures the Zeitgeist so completely that its popularity soars. Thomas Piketty's new book Capital in the Twenty-First Centuryis the latest example, and an unlikely one, as it is a 700-page economics book.
Published just weeks ago in the U.S., the book is now the Number 1 bestseller on Amazon.com.(Its author is a professor of the Paris School of Economics and it was first published in France.)
The primary theme of "Capital" is that income inequality is growing and will continue to grow due to the structure of capitalism in the 21st century.

Is it time to stop subsidizing the suburbs?Nicole Goodkind at Daily Ticker1 day ago
More than ever Millennials and baby boomers are ditching their spread-out suburban lives and packing it in for the city.
Columbia Professor Vishaan Chakrabarti wrote in a New York Times Op-ed last week that lower crime, better schools and more parks are making cities increasingly appealing while the difficulties of attaining mortgages and car loans, combined with a new environmental and social consciousness, make suburban living seem retro and ill-fitting for today's society.
Professor Chakrabarti, author of A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America joined the Daily Ticker to discuss what he calls the "beginning stages of a historic urban reordering."

A new frontier for Silicon Valley: The marijuana tradeBernice Napach at Daily Ticker1 day ago
It looks almost like a marriage made in heaven: Liberal entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are starting companies that can profit from the growing marijuana trade. "The entire tech-industrial complex is getting in on the action: investors, entrepreneurs, biotechnologists, scientists" and more, writes Mat Honan, senior writer at WIRED, in his latest story "High Tech: How Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are rushing to cash in on cannabis." Related: Grover Norquist wants "tax equality" for marijuana industry
These entrepreneurs include manufacturers of vaporizers such as Firefly and UpToke, which allow pot smokers to inhale vapor instead of smoke; software makers including MJ Freeway and Agrisoft, which track pot sales and inventory; and the Stanley Brothers — Jared, Jesse, Joel, Jon, Jordan, and Josh — who operate medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado in addition to a nonprofit that produces a strain of medical marijuana.
Is there anything wrong with a $1,000 per day prescription drug?Lauren Lyster at Daily Ticker1 day ago
Gilead Sciences (GILD) reported earnings after the bell Tuesday and blew through estimates, driven by $2.27 billion in sales for its new $1,000 a day hepatitis C treatment Sovaldi, which is believed to be the best-selling prescription drug launch in history, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It's put up or shut up time for AppleHenry Blodget at Daily Ticker1 day ago
Apple (AAPL) reports earnings Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street is not expecting particularly impressive results. The focus of most Apple investors appears to be on the new products Apple is expected to roll out in the second half of this year.
And those products are indeed critical for the company and its stock price.
Related: Apple is too big to keep a lid on the rumor mill anymore — Here's the latest
A few years ago, Apple was one of the greatest growth stories in the stock market. For more than a decade, the company astounded Wall Street with one smashing quarter after another. Eventually, Apple's lead in smartphones and tablets seemed insurmountable, and Apple's stock price soared above $700 per share.
But then the premium smartphone market hit maturity, and smaller, cheaper tablets began to gobble up more and more market share.
And now Apple is no longer a growth company.
Working on Wall Street is 'a dystopian nightmare': Kevin RooseNicole Goodkind at Daily Ticker2 days ago
Characters like Jordan Belfort (the DiCaprio-depiction) and Gordon Gekko fill the big screen and young minds with dreams of Wall Street grandeur and luxury. And maybe once-upon-a-time working for a big bank was full of such excess, but today, says Kevin Roose, it's less about a spoil of riches and more about long hours and thankless work.
Roose followed eight young Wall Street hopefuls over the course of three years for his book "Young Money." What he found was that the job wasn't quite what they expected it to be. "It wasn't anything like The Wolf of Wall Street," he says.
"It was like a dystopian nightmare. They got there and were immediately thrust into these jobs where they were working sometimes 100 to 110 hours a week. There's a thing called the bankers 9-to-5…where you show up for work at 9am and you don't leave until the next day at 5am."

as you know, I have lived in florida for many years, and we get many days of sunshine. Now all this sunshine is beginning to build up to where it will soon block the entrance to the house. I've gone on line many times to find a sunshine shovel, but all I can find is snow shovels, thats kind of silly here. So I'm asking if anyone on this board knows where I can get one or maybe lend me a sunshine shovel
by the way, whats todays date ?This message has been edited. Last edited by: nona,
Maybe we can send all the spammers to Florida and let their hot air absorb the sunshine?
OTOH, perhaps they'd just make the situation worse, and I wouldn't want to wish them on anyone.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
that's easy, nona. take that extra sunshine to the window where they are keeping the daylight savings time for you, and deposit it. you can come back when prepping for hurricanes and take a few days back out.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Nona, contact your local federal p_o_l_i_t_i_c_i_a_n_s. They find ways to exploit everything.
Perhaps they can find someone in their district who (contributed to their c_a_m_p_a_i_g_n_s) can get a government grant to develop a sunshine shovel, and another contributor to build sunshine transportation trucks.
Then the sunshine can be hauled to Alaska and distributed to people who can qualify for a sunshine bailout.
The p_o_l_i_t_i_c_i_a_n_s can claim credit for green energy development and job creation. Maybe you can even get paid for selling your sunshine, or maybe you can auction off rights to it.
Better hurry to your attorney to legalize all this so you can get your 15 minutes of fame and get credit for saving the environment. Heck, maybe you could even run for office after performing such a noble feat.
Or maybe you could produce a DIY show on sunshine removal. Make sure Nicole stars and wears a tank top, but be sure to get some men in tank tops too. Your ratings will soar! Holmes will be jealous!This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
Swschrad, great answer.
well I listened to all the advice given and had a hard time deciding which one to use. We did contact the S.B.A ( snow bird association )and they said they will collect it from me and send it north when you have another winter like the one you had when you experienced the nice weather, but then squandered it and it snowed for 40 days and 40 nights.
They also said that they will send a sample to you so you will recognize it when you get it in abundance Enjoy my sunshine, it should arrive at your doorstep sometime in JulyThis message has been edited. Last edited by: nona,

Nona, I've changed my mind. Can I put in a special request for delivery of my sunshine?
I'd like it in late October to November to help the melon crops mature; they sometimes have a rough time if Michigan Falls are too cool.
In return, maybe I can send some melons down to you with some of the local Snowbirds who trek to the South every year.
Seriously guys, I nearly fell off my chair from laughing too hard. Thanks, I needed this kind of distraction.
Seriously, so did we, at least I did, and I think Swschrad and Nona did (but I really can't speak for them .
And BTW, I'm a girl, at least as far as I know.
I'm still waiting for Nona's response to my commercialization suggestions - see his Sunshine Truck post under the Home Improvement Section. I still think it's a great idea to copy the Wall Street guys' penchant for exploiting everything and commercialize a basic commodity. Those guys sure know how to make money and play the system!
And now we have a lot of rain; maybe Nona and Swschrad can help figure out a way to capture our excess rain and send it to drought areas.

I sold your sunshine truck idea to the Chinese a couple days ago for a squillion billion yen, about $6.95 in real money. they filled the sunshine with lead and are selling it even now in Guangdong Province, where the pollution blocks the sun.

good grief,,, I never thought that a simple april fools gag would snowball like this has
we're all looking for a little sunshine :-D
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Yeah, I get that alot too.
When confused by other's confusion...I just take a look "where the sun don't shine", and it usually clears things up. At least in my mind, can't say for anyone else.
This is so much more fun than SPAM!
Swschard , well I am shocked and hurt. Here I paid for your lavish lobster and prime rib lunch, a few bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, and several pieces of cheesecake for dessert, and even allowed myself to be embarrassed when you danced on the table...all the while thinking that we were going to become partners. Now I discover that you sold me out behind my back.
But you are certainly a credit to the Wall Street creed!
I do hope you licensed the concept of selling sunshine, or arranged for energy credits. I hear the Chinese have marked up the leaded sunshine by threefold and have used the money for hackers to hack into the Defense Department again.
Seems they're thinking about developing a weapon to use satellites to channel all the sunshine to them so they can have a monopoly on it, as they've created a monopoly on so many consumer goods. They learned their lessons from Wall Street well.
When I found out what you did, I sent plenty of thundersnow your way. "Hell hath no fury like a woman [cheated]." I hope you enjoyed the pelleted ice as well. Took some effort to create that
Next time I'll find a different business partner - one who likes salads for lunch (and who pays for MY lunch - I shouldn't have insisted on being such a liberated and progressive woman.)
And thanks for the laughs. Now I can finish my taxes without crying.
Nona, your April Fool's joke apparently came at the right time....end of winter, tax season, handwringing, plans to give up food to pay the taxes, and all that stuff.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Conrad, loved your method of "confirmation". I could never forget that I'm female, even if I wanted to . My chocolate habit hounds me even when I'm sleeping. Who else but a woman would dream of Godiva and Lindt chocolates?
And yeah, I'd rather do this than complain about spammers, unless they come up with something funny and other than "this product good for everything."
And on the subject of g_e_n_d_e_r confusion, years ago I used to follow posts on a lawyers' forum. Many of the threads took turns as Nona's April Fool's gag did - there was a lot of silliness but it was really amusing. Guess they needed something to take the edge off of working 100+ hours a week and taking home bonuses in the several thousand dollar range.
Men used to pretend to be women (I suspect they were litigators trying to gain insight into the inscrutable female mind so they could psyche out jurors) and after awhile it was impossible to guess who was male and who was female. I'll leave the speculation at that observation.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,

The Federal Reserve faces a $4 trillion question, and the stock market's seemingly unstoppable rally could hang on the answer.
With increasing fervor, investors are asking what is the U.S. central bank's exit strategy for getting rid of all the government debt it has bought in an effort to stimulate risk assets and boost the economy.
Will the Fed simply take its chances with inflation and allow all the debt to mature in its own sweet time, or will it begin selling into the marketplace, risking losses that would halt the support payments it is sending to the nation's beleaguered Treasury?
(Read More: CNBC Explains the Federal Reserve)
"At some point they have to exit," said Garth Friesen, co-chief investment officer at hedge fund III Associates and a member of the New York Fed's Investor Advisory Committee. "Until that point they don't want to have premature tightening. How they balance those factors is what they're talking about today, yesterday and what they're going to be talking about in the next couple of meetings."
The Fed's Open Market Committee concludes its two-day meeting today but is unlikely to provide more clues about how it will end its bond-buying program, known in market jargon as quantitative easing.
While it has been more transparent on when it will consider raising interest rates - with targets of 6.5 percent unemployment and 2.5 percent inflation - the Fed has been more circumspect regarding its bond buying.
"I don't think there is one answer," Friesen said. "At the end of the day it comes down to their communication strategy."
The Fed's reticence to divulge their plan for exiting has some of its own members on edge, as a messy exit could throttle a market rally, the ups and downs of which have been closely tied to the asset purchase cycle.
(Read More: Want the Fed to Tighten? Don't Hold Your Breath)
"The minutes from the last two FOMC meetings and several recent Fed speeches suggest that concerns about the costs of QE have risen and that these concerns may impact the conduct of monetary policy in the year ahead," Deutsche Bank economists wrote in a recent report on the Fed's options.
Essentially the Fed has three choices: Either start tapering its purchases, hold the debt to duration instead of selling it, or pick and choose what it sells in hopes of timing the market correctly.
According to a broad swath of market experts who responded to a CNBC survey, the most likely scenario is that the Fed holds onto its assets and doesn't sell them before maturity.
The Fed has created more than $3.2 trillion to buy $1.77 trillion in Treasurys, $1.02 trillion in mortgage-backed securities and a handful of other debt instruments. In addition, it is buying $85 billion a month in Treasurys and MBS, which would bring the total balance sheet to about $4 trillion by the end of 2013.
A plurality of 53 percent predicted in the CNBC poll that the Fed will not sell any of its assets, while 41 percent said the Fed probably would sell both mortgage-backed securities and Treasurys. The rest were split between the Fed selling one or the other, while 14 percent said they were insure what it would do.
(Read More: Wall Street Betting Fed Keeps QE Coming)
Those results closely mirror the most recent Bank of America Fund Manager Survey, where the most popular response was that the Fed would not be selling its MBS portfolio.
Such a strategy comes with risk, though, and the market has counted on the Fed and Chairman Ben Bernanke to chart its course wisely.
"QE has brought peace to the financial world," said Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch. "Investors say liquidity conditions are the best ever. Few see the peace ending."
Some economists, though, worry that the Fed will take losses on the debt and, at least for a period of time, have to halt the payments it sends to the Treasury on proceeds it gets in normal times from its holdings.
While the amount of those remittances used to be small, it has ballooned - along with the Fed's balance sheet - now to about $90 billion in 2012.
"Assuming the recent firmness of payroll employment growth persists, we expect the Fed to downshift and eventually end its asset purchases during (the second half of 2013). We expect a sharp backup in Treasury yields as these events unfold," Deutsche Bank said in its analysis.
Rising yields would be felt throughout the markets and corporate earnings in particular, which have been helped by cheap capital that companies have used to support their businesses.
Those profits in turn have encouraged investors, who have been chased into the stock market as yields have evaporated on other debt instruments, even high-yielding junk bonds.
(Read More: Fed Throws Junk Bond Lifeline to Weak Companies)
Taken together, the Fed faces some difficult choices about how it will end its easing program without causing market havoc.
"Rising interest rates will send service payments on corporate, private and government debt skyrocketing and that will severely hamper economic growth," Michael Pento, an economist and founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies, said in a note. "The economic fallout from the end of artificial stimuli cannot (in the short term) be supportive of the level of corporate profits."
Pento said the Fed is creating "a bubble that is only becoming more dangerous with each day of the Fed's money printing."

Congress-BSP alliance on the cards for Uttar Pradesh
By Subhash Mishra
Published: 08th Sep 2013 08:16:43 AM
In public, they are bitter enemies. But in the clandestine rendevouz of political dialogue, they are more than just pals. For the past few weeks, leaders of the Congress party led by Sonia Gandhi and Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party are holding several direct and indirect confabulations to strike an electoral pact for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. According to sources, Rahul Gandhi's point person for Uttar Pradesh Madhusudan Mistry and Mayawati's Brahmin face Satish Mishra have met frequently to discuss the sealing of the political marriage of convenience. Sources say that there is a consensus in both parties on the Congress and the BSP fighting the Lok Sabha elections together to defeat the Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party who are intent on polarising UP along "communal" and caste lines.
According to the formula being worked out between Mistry and Mishra, the BSP will support Congress in all 22 seats the latter currently holds and BSP would contest the remaining 58 seats. Their calculation is that the alliance would get a combined total of around 40 Lok Sabha seats. The Congress is more eager for the tie up, since internal polls show that the party would get only between three to five seats in UP. The Congress expects a mass transfer of Dalit votes to go in its favour, if it contests in BSP's company. The BSP's expectation from the tie up is a large share of the Muslim votes, which would be cast to defeat BJP candidates wherever they are contesting against the BSP.
If the alliance happens, it would be the second time in 20 years the Congress and the BSP would be going to the hustings together. In 1996, when PV Narasimha Rao was Prime Minister, both parties had a pre-poll alliance in the UP Assembly polls. BSP founding president Kanshi Ram had forged the deal and the Congress fought 300 seats and the BSP just 125 out of 425 (at that time Uttarakhand was not created out of Uttar Pradesh) .The BSP could get just 67 seats, the Congress stood at 33.
The indication that Maya could consider an alliance with the Congress had surfaced in April at a rally in Chandigarh. She had declared that BSP would continue to support the Congress to "keep communal forces at bay" and that the party should always be ready for elections. Mayawati helped Congress through many hiccups in Parliament: the Food Security ordinance and Food Security Bill, the Land Acquisition Bill, Telengana and FDI in retail. On FSB, she had stated, "We believe that bringing the bill into Parliament is the correct decision. We will support the bill, but will also make some suggestions in Parliament so that the poor people can benefit to the fullest." The BSP had accused the UPA of hustling the land acquisition bill through in Parliament with an eye on upcoming elections; however, Mayawati said in the Rajya Sabha that she supported the bill because it seeks to provide more compensation to farmers whose land is taken over for infrastructure development.

In 1996 BSP was senior partner and Congress Junior partner and if the report is correct than one thing is sure Goonda raj of SP in U.P. will be over and even Mayawati could end up as PM if BSP gets 30 seats in UP

You are wrong in information & in fact BSP had retained 300 seats & 125 seats were given to Congress. Out come of election was favourable to Congress. That was the unique alliance forged by Late BSP founder Kanshiram ji at the repeated requests of Naraimha Rao & to take revenge of Congress. However, the present alliance would be the death point for BSP. Don't know why, but Mayawati has gone mad & now she has started acting exactly opposite to the interest of her initial ideology.

This news article is totally false and made up. No such meetings have taken place and no agreement has happened. BSP will fight in all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh and all other states where the party is present on its own. such articles create confusion within the cadre and supporters of the party. You are requested to kindly to call an Explanation from your reporter for getting a false story published in the News Paper and to disclose his source of false information which has resulted in creating confusion all around and that too without caring to take My version before publishing the same. You are also requested to get the contradiction of the false story published with the same prominence. Thanking you Sincerely yours Satish Chandra Misra (National General Secretary of BSP)

These chairs came today and they are gorgeous,soft as butter leather,very high quality.I have to send them back though .BEWARE they are not white..they are off white/cream!! If you are looking for off white. They are really really nice and a great buy. I did sit in one before it went back into the box...very comfortable.
We needed new chairs for our mid-century/eclectic dining room and these chairs are the perfect addition. The chairs were carefully packed and fully assembled upon delivery. The color, size, and quality are consistent with the Overstock description and many of the customer reviews. We took a big chance by ordering all six chairs at once, but are so pleased that we did.
These chairs are a great addition to my condo's dining room. They have a nice clean look and the tufted back is subtle enough to read "hip and glam" not "eye-talian resturant". The are comfortable and seem solidly constructed, plus they arrived very securly packed against any damage. Unlike some others, I don't find them to be small as they are the right scale for a modern or mid-century look. If you have large furniture pieces, they may get overwhelmed.. Seriously considering adding two more and it's been about five minutes.
The chairs are perfect for my use. I read the reviews that said the chairs were kiddie-sized. I'm not sure what they are used to, but I measured my existing Parsons chairs (obtained from Pottery Barn) before I ordered these, and they were similar in seat height and 2-3 inches shorter in back height, which was fine. My husband is 6'2" and I am 5' 8" so we are not short people, and these are fine for size. However, we are average weight and if people were very heavy, these might not be the chairs for them, width-wise. I think the chairs are beautiful and go perfectly with our glass dining table. The legs are darker than I expected--they look black and I thought expresso would be a dark brown. Just be aware. This is the 4th item I have purchased from Overstock and have never been disappointed in what I have ordered--reading the reviews really is helpful.
I learned a lot about seat height with this purchase. I had to send the chairs back and O.com was very nice about waiving return shipping when I told them the reason. I had assumed that table heights and chair seat heights were standard. Well, they sort of are, but not completely. Standard table heights go from 28 to 30" while standard chair seat heights go from 18-20". So you would want an 18" chair seat height with a 28" table height and a 20" chair seat height with a 30" table height. Well these beautiful reasonable chairs were just what I wanted, but you guessed it, my table is 30" high and the chair seat was 18" high -- way too low. I found this out by googling on the internet -- not having known this before. I would definitely have kept the chairs if they had had a higher chair seat. height.
These were exactly what we wanted, a little off white not bright white, comfortable. There was a small scratch on one of the chairs and they replaced it no problem, very happy
These chairs look great, pretty sturdy, and a great price
I got these chairs on the mail today and I'm very happy with my purchase. They are not white, which I already knew from the reviews but since I needed an off white/ cream they are perfect for me. I read a lot of reviews complaining about the height so I decided to measure and they are 17.5 and when you seat it sinks maybe to 17.2 as opposed to the 18 inches they say, but for me it doesn't' matter. The chairs are not very heavy, maybe 10lbs each but not cheap light. they seem sturdy. The color of the legs is a black brown color. I was amazed how fast they delivered!
OK first of all... fast delivery. Second... I did not have to put legs on or anything, they came completed. Third WOW I did not expect to love them. They are supple and pretty and neat looking and comfortable. The price (I compared for months) is unbeatable especially for the quality. I am impressed. My lil kitchen area looks so modern and welcoming. I added a new small glass top table to complete the look and I love having my friends over for coffee in the a.m.. and they love my chairs too. I was weary about the color (ivory) but boy does it look sharp. If you order them too... you will know what I mean.
I am 100% satisfied and extremely happy with these chairs, which arrived just two days after I placed the order. They are very pretty and elegant in my opinion. Although some reviews imply that they are sized for a kindergarten, I think they are just fine for my small dining room space (7' x 10'), and any average sized people should do just fine. I am also extremely pleased with Overstock customer service. Before I bought the chairs, I spoke to someone who answered all of my questions, and even explained in detail what bonded leather is. One of the chairs came with a blue ink mark, like from a pen. They gave me three options to rectify the situation, all which would have been more than satisfactory. They couldn't have been more polite, friendly, resourceful, and helpful. I elected to keep the chair since the spot is so small, and they gave me a generous refund of more than half the cost of the chair. Also, I like that I have not had to wait more than a few seconds to talk to somebody. They should go into business teaching customer service.

Heart Rhythm Treatments (Cardiac Electrophysiology)
Swedish is on the forefront of electrophysiology, which focuses on electrical activity in the heart. Patients suffering from heart arrhythmia problems are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Common heart rhythm disorder symptoms include:
- Palpitations, skipped heartbeats, heart fluttering
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Fast heart rate (tachycardia)
- Fainting
Medications used to be the primary treatment for heart rhythm disorders and many of these disorders were considered untreatable. Today, there are many treatments that provide long-term solutions for patients, such as ablation techniques where catheters are used to correct heart tissue that is causing unusually fast or irregular heart rates.
The expertly trained physicians, nurses and staff of Swedish's electrophysiology program have pioneered many treatment approaches for heart rhythm disorders. In fact, we were the first on the West Coast to perform hybrid surgery on patients with persistent, long-lasting atrial fibrillation.
In the video below, Dr. Darryl Wells of the Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute talks about the stroke risk associated with atrial fibrillation and how that risk is dealt with. There are medications that thin the blood and reduce stroke risk. There are also medications used to manage the heart rate and the heart rhythm.
What We Treat
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Atrial Flutter
- Bradycardia
- Cardiomyopathy
- Heart Block
- Palpitations

To the editor:
On the ABC evening news it was recently stated that the recent Presidential election consumed 700 days. Now already we hear of talk about the next race to take place in 2016. Is there anyone out there who is not simply tired of all the political stuff? The Canadians manage to go through the process of electing a new Prime Minister in just 38 days! I just do not remember a Presidential election taking so long from start to finish say, 20 years ago.

I have been working at Regus full-time for more than a year
Pros – Speaking firsthand, I can say that Regus in Silicon Valley is a great company to work for. The area team is incredible - I enjoy spending time with all of them, and we continue to exceed the bar and set new benchmarks for the company as a region on a regular basis. There is plenty of opportunity for continued professional growth and support when you work hard. Our facilities are nice, the working environment is enjoyable, you get to meet incredible clients in several different industries, and help their business develop. I have found my time as a Regus employee to be extremely rewarding and am looking forward to the future.
Cons – If you are looking for a slow-paced, desk job - this might not be the right place for you. Several opportunities within Regus are challenging and things change quickly. Time flies because you remain steadily busy all day. You have to be able to prioritize and focus when it counts. I love this part of my job, but can understand that other may not find it fulfilling.
Advice to Senior Management – Open more locations! We are currently at 11 business centers, and it's time to help our clients and open more in the area! (Luckily, I know the company is looking to grow, so I am sure this will come to be the case shortly!)
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

My personal opinion...no 'closed' system heating system likes air; the only way to keep air out is if it is truely closed. A bladder tank does that. Each time you open yours up, drain the tank, you introduce new air into the system. This slowly gets purged out, but in the process provides oxygen to rust any ferrous parts. A bladder tank can last 5-years or more, and are fairly inexpensive.
The way to size the thing is to determine how much water is in the system when it is full, then specify how big of a swing you have (i.e., from cold to max hot). That determines the volume you need to provide for expansion. Watts makes a decent tank and has a sizing calculator. Useful, even if you choose a different brand. http://www.watts.com/pages/support/sizing_ET.asp
The best place to install it is on the feed side near the circulator, but it will work anywhere in the system. this way, when the pump turns on, it has a little extra volume available.

There are times when bigger is better, but drains lines are not always one of them. The 3" line will have better "scouring" action than the 4" one.
Hey all,
I am remodeling 1 full bathroom and setting up a tie-in for another future full bath. I removed most of the existing cast iron stack which was 3", and just as it enters the basement slab it transitions to 4". My plan was to reinstall the stack all as 4".
If you look at the attached photo, the 4" hub you see right at the floor level is the top of a 90deg. fitting. I was thinking I good cut off the hub and use a rubber coupling to tie into it, this would still require me to open up the slab. My questions are:
- do you see any issues with attaching a rubber coupling to the top of a cast iron 90deg sweep fitting (with the hub cut off)?
- would I better off removing a larger section of the slab and removing that 90deg fitting completely - then tying into a straight length of cast iron?
- am I making too much work for myself trying to upgrade the size of the waste line, and should just use 3" pipe and tie into what you see above the slab? (note I have already purchased all of the 4" pipe and fittings).
- note that the 2" galvanized line you see coming in services 2 sinks and potentially a future washer machine
- note the 90 fitting turns back into the house toward the direction the photo is taken from, so I don't have to be concerned with having to work in/underneath the foundation wall
Thanks in advance for any advice,

If you keep it at 3", keep the hub and use a donut to make the connection. They probably make a donut that would work on 4" pipe as well. While the ID of the pipe is standard, the size of the hub is not, so you may need to order the properly sized donut.

Thanks for the responses. I realized after posting that if I really want the 4" stack I don't need to open up the floor - as long as I can remove those 3" fittings in the photo I can try to donut a new 4" line into the top of that 4" 90deg. fitting that enters the floor. I want to replace that 2" line and fitting above anyway.
HJ -I'm assuming what you mean by "scouring" is the smaller diameter will allow the waste/water to "wash" all interior surfaces of the pipe as it passes through. Any reservations against going with 4" since I have all of the parts already?
Thanks again,
In the "old days" we did everything in 4", and did not even have any 3" pipe or fittings, so you should not have any problems.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I was told that I should add a cleanout if I transition from 4 inch to 3 inch. A cleanout here might be a good idea, even if sticking with 3 inch.
The base of the stack gets a cleanout.
The cleanout can be at the floor, or above the fittings there.
Yes - a clean-out was definitely in the plan, was going to position it just over the tee where the 2" line comes into the stack. Thanks again for the advice.
hey all - re-built the stack and started the rough-in for the bathroom and was hoping to get comments or sign-off on the design. Some photos are below for your reference.
The one question I do have is - can I wet vent the bathtub through the lavatory vent? I understand the concept of a wet vent, but not so fully that I am confident designing one. I hope the photos show enough for you to understand how that venting could work. If not, I could always run a separate vent for each fixture and tie them together in the attic and then into the vent exiting the roof.
Any feedback or advice is appreciated, thanks!
Looks good.
The lav can wet vent the tub if the wet part is 2" and they are on the same floor.
The lav drain going down vertical would be the tub vent from below. That makes it about 23" in length.
The trap arm can be 1.5"
If you are coming up in two separate locations, the tie the vents together at 42" from the floor.
Last edited by Terry; 10-17-2013 at 07:17 AM.
You show the bathtub drain pointing UP, (without a "P" trap),. If that is how it will remain, then you not only CANNOT wet vent it with the lavatory, but it will need its own vent.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
thanks for the confirmation Terry.
HJ - I was planning on installing a p=trap, but now that you bring it up I realized it was going to end up more like an s-trap based on how close it is to the drain. I guess I could connect the p-trap to a tee and run another vent up - that is how the original installation was done. Just means some extra materials and time. Unless you have any suggestions...
quote; I realized it was going to end up more like an s-trap based on how close it is to the drain.
It would not LOOK 'more like an S-trap", but it would BE an "S" trap. It has NOTHING to do with "closeness", it has everything to do with the pipe turning downward after the trap without an intervening vent.

Greetings gang and thanks in advance for any help:
we are remodelling our shower and are looking to put in multiple shower heads and some body sprays.
our current drain is 2".
My question is what is the maximum GPM flow that this drain will handle? Also, is there somewhere on line where I can look at the calculations, etc?
Thanks again for any help.

Assuming you don't have anything greater than say 1" pipes supplying water, it should not be a problem. Now, if it is a really large area of shower, you may want a second drain to limit how far the water has to go to get to the drain.

I'm not sure that the links above are an answer, as they deal with pressurized flow, and you're asking about gravity flow.
I think you can get a workable answer, though not exactly to the question you asked, by looking at your code to see how many fixture units it assigns to the shower heads and how many it allows for the drain pipe size. You're going to have to work within that code if you plan to pass inspection.
Here's the IPC as an example, not intending to say it controls for you.
Thanks for the help so far, but I remain confused.
Arkansas has adopted the codes in the link. Our house was built circa 2003.
our master bath shower has a 2 inch drain, 1 shower, 1 toliet, 2 sinks, 1 bath tub separate from the shower.
the remainder of our house has 2 additional toliets, 3 additional bath sinks, 1 kitchen sink, and 1 washer.
If I total this up correct with what I have, it comes to 22 units. The rating for a two inch drain if I am reading the table correctly calls for a maximum unit value of 21 for a 2 inch drain with only one quarter inch of slope per foot.
for a slope of one half inch per foot, it apparently allows up to 26 units.
I want to add to my existing master show 1 additional shower head (total of 2), and 4 body sprays. The gpm rating of the two shower heads will be 2.5 gpm each for a total of 5 and for each of the body sprays 1.75 gpm for a total of 7 for the sprays and a grand total of 12 gpm for the entire shower.
When I consulted my plumber this afternoon he said that the maximum GPM for a 2" drain is 12gpm, so according to him this will work.
I would like to get some independent confirmation of this.
Will the above work with a 2" drain?
Thanks again in advance for any help/replies.
I don't want to remodel the entire shower and then not have it drain.
I think you're missing something...your toilet drain is at least a 3" pipe, and the whole house may go into a 4" pipe. The outlet of the house drain system is at least 3".

I found this old post and thought I could add in my own two bits.
I have done a load of private testing on the subject of flow testing and have found many of these 2" drains can handle easily between 8-16 GPM (Gallons Per Minute). In my tests most drains see no build up of water (above grate) at 8-10 GPM or less. When the flow rates creep up higher so does the water level above the grate.
At 18 GPM I have measure 3/8" of water above the drains grate.
We have also noticed that flow rates drop when the drop to the P-Trp is not vertical. We also noticed that the higher the drop the better the flow rate. We have also noticed that any mis installed fitting can greatly lower the flow rates.
Hope this helps.

|"Oh, Beaver! I LOVE to shop!"
The author, Ed Rybicki, purports to compare the shopping styles of men and women. Thanks to passages like the one below, I was transported back to a time when men were men, women were women, and Hugh Hefner had just published the first issue of his groundbreaking new magazine, Playboy, which men like these read only for the articles. Rybicki writes:
At this point I must digress, and mention, for those who are not aware, the profound differences in strategy between Men Going Shopping and Women Going Shopping. In any general shopping situation, men hunt: that is, they go into a complex environment with a few clear objectives, achieve those, and leave. Women, on the other hand, gather: such that any mission to buy just bread and milk could turn into an extended foraging expedition that also snares a to-die-for pair of discounted shoes; a useful new mop; three sorts of new cook-in sauces; and possibly a selection of frozen fish.Stereotype much? Let me help you gain some clarity: I detest shopping. I hate the grocery store. My least favorite day of the week is Monday, not because it's MONDAY but because it is grocery store day. I purchase clothing about twice a year in 10-minute microbursts of laser-targeted selections, primarily because I so very much hate shopping. I own clothes that date back almost to the era from which this writer appears to hail, because I so very much hate shopping. As a woman, I am not alone in that--about 50% of my sex (warning: more sexism at link), it seems, joins me in the repulsion.
The writer goes on to draw out a strained discretization of women as Gatherers and men as Hunters--perhaps he's not familiar with the fact that some of us are more Neanderthal than others and that Neanderthals didn't do that whole hunter-gatherer thing--and uses it as a springboard for an epiphany about parallel universes. It strains to the point of shatter, but it's along the lines of, "Women have mysterious ways of finding mysterious things in mysterious spaces while shopping, spaces men seem incapable of finding," extrapolated to "Women reside in a parallel universe." He then discusses having consulted other men to "observe such phenomena," collecting their observations about how women shop.
Playboy writing, this is not. Sexist writing, it is.
It goes on:
Women can access parallel universes in order to find things, whether they do it consciously or not. They have probably always been able to do this, and now there is fierce speculation as to whether this constituted the evolutionary advantage we had over other primates: the presence of bulbs, grains and nuts on the table that had been retrieved from parallel universes when the hunters came home empty-handed was probably a major factor in the survival of our species."Probably always been able to do this"? While the idea in itself isn't without support--see "Neanderthal lack of division of labor may have contributed to their extinction"--to connect this to some 1950s conception of Women-Shop-Gatherer vs Men-Shop-Hunter is sexist and a metaphorical failure. Has the writer ever been hunting? Far more than gathering, hunting involves finding--and taking--elusive food in places that themselves can be elusive. The parallels posited in this piece aren't parallels. The acts of hunting and gathering intersect in any number of complex ways that defy easy categorization, including division by sex.
Continuing with the "Take my wife...please" banter, the writer states that the difference between women's capacity to find things in a parallel universe in Ye Olden Tymes and our ability to do it today is that today, "they (italics mine) know they can do it." This knowledge, it seems, means "things have changed." I'm a touchy feminist, and when I see men bemoaning that women have become empowered through knowledge, I turn into a somewhat stabby feminist.
The stabbiness became extreme when I reached the penultimate graf of this sexist anachronism:
Because groceries aren't all they go looking for. It turns out the next item on the shopping list is better-looking versions of us.

Former President George W. Bush as well as other members of his administration have been convicted in absentia of war crimes in Malaysia. This is the first time that something of this magnitude has occurred. Although Malaysia has been the only country to deliver a guilty verdict, they are hoping that more countries follow their example. In fact, former President George W. Bush canceled his trip to Switzerland, due to possibly being charged with war crimes. He can't be arrested on American soil, so staying put seems the smartest decision at this point. If more countries vote the administration guilty of war crimes, then there would be no choice but to hold a trial and see if they would be convicted in the International court.
This past Friday, a five panel tribunal delivered a unanimous guilty verdict after a week long trial that, unsurprisingly, was not covered by American media. The witnesses included several ex-Guantanamo detainees that gave testimony on the conditions and human rights violations that were systematically carried out under orders of the Bush administration.
Former President Bush, Former Vice-President Dick Cheney, Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo that crafted the legal 'justification' for torture that basically said, 'we can if we want to even if it's illegal' were the defendants. None were present, of course, but international war crime trials do not require the presence of the accused. The trial was run according to the standards set by the Nuremberg Trials to convict war criminals after World War II.
Professor Gurdial Singh Nijar, who headed the prosecution said, "The tribunal was very careful to adhere scrupulously to the regulations drawn up by the Nuremberg courts and the International Criminal Courts".
The United States is subject to international law which makes this trial significant beyond the borders of Malaysia. Foreign Policy Journal reports:
President Lamin told a packed courtroom: "As a tribunal of conscience, the tribunal is fully aware that its verdict is merely declaratory in nature. The tribunal has no power of enforcement, no power to impose any custodial sentence on any one or more of the 8 convicted persons. What we can do, under Article 31 of Chapter VI of Part 2 of the Charter is to recommend to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission to submit this finding of conviction by the tribunal, together with a record of these proceedings, to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as the United Nations and the Security Council.
The problem that I have with all of this, is not that Bush is getting in trouble, because I very much dislike the man, but rather that he is getting in trouble for doing the same thing that other countries are doing to our war prisoners. They are WAR prisoners and were intending on killing many of us. Why should we treat them with dignity and respect? Furthermore, would they treat US with the same respect we're expected to give?

"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"
